Fianne Fail, Off licences and suicide prevention all in one.

SEPT 23 1989

All the extra tax will go to help suicide prevention wont it?:rolleyes:

Fianna Fail have some neck,their destruction of this country along with the banks have cost many lives

ThisRegard

I have to laugh at this argument from the rip off publicans.

I have never, ever, got as drunk at home, or in someone elses home, as I have in a pub, run by a good barman or publican looking after me. I never see more depressed looking people anywhere than I do in a pub.


You sir are a waffler, the tax you put foward years ago was a form of protectionism to look after yourself.

I'd be suing. I don't like amusement rides but have gone on the odd one as my daughter likes them - If one broke down whilst I was on it I'd go nuts, literally. She sounds quite rational/normal, if it was me I'd be a gibbering idiot and would have already made the appointment at the solicitor and they could shove their free rides pass where the sun doesn't shine :mad:

Really? I know things can get lost in textation on here, but would you sue over this? I wouldn't I'd chalk it down to a good story for when the kids get older, no one was hurt, it'll be something to tell their friends.

Thats a pretty disgraceful bill to be putting forward and now we have the vintners on giving out about supermarkets blowing out their assertion that drink cant be sold cheaper.

Owryan

Ah Gerry Mellett, local publican and friend of Joe.

Bet he all be giving out about supermarkets n cheap beer, different tune tho when he buys his bottles from tesco in tullow.

Hamilcar

I hear it all the time Joe, I just don't give a sh**e

Dan Jaman

"People have less and less money."
Sure, of course Joe feels the pain - like that, too.

ThisRegard

Bollox, he's talking bollox.

Tiger Mcilroy

Publicans have destroyed the pub trade by ripping the piss for years and hiding behind the cost of skysports.

Alcohol is bad except when its served by a barman across the counter.

neris

feck of with your self interest mr publican.

joe drinks water in the boozer. no surprise there then

Lapin

HANDS OFF MY OFF LICENSE BEER YOU GREEDY PUBLICAN WHINGER.

Hamilcar

Slab Murphy will be on

JM Skipton

Here is a novel idea, why can't we be responsible for ourselves?

Dan Jaman

"The Elly Fant in the ruoomm."

Hamilcar

selling alcohol to bring people in the door......................Pub?

Kermit.de.frog

This guy is right - it's better for them to get pissed in his pub and have everyone pour out at 1 am on a Saturday morning.

Roger_007

Is this publican claiming that nobody gets p1ssed in a pub..???

ThisRegard

"They can't even go into a pub".

Ha, not a hint of irony.

The "mulitnationals", plural. So what about Dunnes, Supervalu and all the local off licences ?

Yes I would sue. Mind you, I probably wouldn't go on the amusements in Tramore anyway (I'm from the sunny south east) but have in Eurodisney. Sometimes if it hits a service provider in their pocket for dangerous/bad service, then they make sure it doesn't happen again.

I wouldn't sue if I was on the ground and a machine stopped but they were over 100 ft in the air - I would be a shaking, gibbering mess if I was more than 20 feet off the floor - mind you, with my phobias, I wouldn't have gone on that high ride

It will never work - it's well known we need an all-seeing, all-knowing, caring overseeing paternalistic bunch of self-interested money-grubbing azleholes in Dublin to look after us.

Hamilcar

and an undertakers

I'm entitled for someone to look out for me.

Kermit.de.frog

Stop ripping us off and then maybe we might return.

neris

supermarkets didnt ruin the pub trade. publicans destroyed their cash cow

An Claidheamh

Quite Machivellian by FF.

They want FG and LAb to increase booze, become unpopular (even moreso) under the guise that FF are trying to stop suicide while also championing the greedy publicans.

They really are scum.

In rural areas, most undertakers are also publicans.

Why is Joe giving so much time to this plonker?

SEPT 23 1989

2 pints for a tenner or 8 cans for 12

Because he is Fianna Fáil?

Yer man just said that water is now cheaper than alcohol in supermarkets!
How the hell is he allowed get away with that? I can get a 2 litre bottle for €1.

JM Skipton

This Publican- makes money in the good times, loses money in the crash and now wants to eliminate all competition so he can go back to making the same money as previously while pretending he has the customers interest at heart.

neris

joe likes nothing more then slating arthurs day and never misses a chance

Yakuza

The alkys will pay/beg/borrow/steal for it no matter what price it is, upping the price will just make the 95% of us that don't abuse it suffer.

Hamilcar

almost as atrocious as the prices pubs charge for drink

Kermit.de.frog

Hypocrite.


Complaining about the dangers of drinking but perfectly fine with Arthur's Day (I wonder why).

ThisRegard

What planet is he living in !??!?! A publican never crowed about the price of Sky ?

This guy is the Chemical Ali of the pub trade.

Roger_007

He's not obliged to have Sky Sports?

JM Skipton

Surely as a carlow man he should be glad of sky, less people can see carlow being hammered

SEPT 23 1989

selling six pints a day will cover your Sky Sports

AK333

Could he have Sky Sports upstairs in the "rented accommodation" and then run down a wire?

ThisRegard

Fupping right we don't go for the price of drink, if we did, they're be all closed.

Kermit.de.frog

People stopped going to the pub because they were ripped off. Jeez.
